Effects of Morphology on the Functionality of Organic Electronic Devices

Organic materials provide a wide variety of advantages ofdesign and properties of molecules and polymers. A lot of research activity is driven toward the realization of solution-processed organic materials in large-area, lightweight, flexible organic optoelectronic devices with low processing costs such as OLEDs, OFETs, solar cells, sensors, e-paper, or radio frequency identification tags. In the past decade, extensive experience has been accumulated both in the preparation of solution-processed organic electronic devices and in the characterization of their functional properties. It has been established that the morphology of the material or blend impacts very strongly on the properties (electrical, optical, chemical) and function of the device. Solution-processed organic materials contain diverse levels of organization at the molecular level, the supramolecular level, and the mesoscopic blend. The benefits of the preparation of large-area organi
